KANAB - The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is accepting applications beginning Dec. 22, 2015 through Jan. 29, 2016, for its spring Artists-in-Residence (AiR) program, at the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM) as a premier event in the midst of the 2016 year-long celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the establishment of GSENM: Learning from the Land, Learning from Each Other. For several weeks, in and around Kanab, and Escalante, Utah, from late April until mid-May, two selected artists—a writer and a musician—will join a photographer in a creative, uniquely rugged environment in which to generate artistic works and share their works with the

INDIANAPOLIS - The Wayne FFA chapter of Bicknell, Utah, has been recognized in the 2015 National Chapter Award Program from the National FFA Organization. The program recognizes outstanding FFA chapters from throughout the country that successfully complete an annual set of required activities that encourage members to grow as individuals, work as a team and serve others in their communities. Chapters that received star ratings during judging July 26-Aug 1 and will be recognized at the 2015 National FFA Convention & Expo, Oct. 28-31 in Louisville, Ky. All star FFA chapters receive honors made possible by corporate sponsor John Deere as a special project of the National FFA Foundation.

"Feeding some 9 billion people by mid-century brings with it unprecedented challenges for today’s farmers," said Amy Allen, manager, national corporate contributions for John Deere. "The skills and experiences learned though the National Chapter Awards programs will help meet the critical needs.” Each year, the National FFA Organization honors FFA members who show the utmost dedication to the organization through their desire to develop their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education. The American FFA Degree is bestowed up on a select group of students in recognition of their years of academic and professional excellence. This year, 3,434 American Degrees will be awarded. Betha-

SALT LAKE CITY - The Rio and Alice galleries in Salt Lake City will be accepting proposals for exhibitions scheduled for July 2016 - Jan. 2017. Both galleries participate in the monthly Salt Lake Gallery Stroll and host public receptions on Gallery Stroll evenings. Proposals from artists, arts organizations, and independent curators are welcome; these include both solo exhibitions and small group

In Utah 143,391 People are Enrolled in Marketplace Coverage

WASHINGTON D.C. As of December 19, the number of consumers signed up for Marketplace coverage surged to more than 8.2 million nationally, including 143,391 in Utah. Those who selected a plan by December 17 or were auto reenrolled will have coverage effective January 1, 2016. High consumer demand as we neared the enrollment deadline for January 1 coverage, as well as the automatic renewal process, contributed to this overall total. “Millions of Americans will start 2016 with the quality and affordable health coverage they want and need to keep their families healthy and financially secure,” said Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell. "We are encouraged by the strong start we experienced in the first half of Open Enrollment for 2016 coverage, and know we have ongoing work to do. We are focused on making sure Utah families looking for coverage understand their options through the Marketplace, know about the financial assistance available, and have access to the support they need to enroll." These data, for the first time, reflect the vast majority of consumers who were automatically re-enrolled into 2016 coverage. The re-enrollment process has not yet been completed so as it continues, upcoming snapshots will include additional consumers who were automatically re-

enrolled after December 19. If a consumer realized after the deadline for coverage starting January 1 that there is a better plan for their family, they can come back and make a change any time before the end of Open Enrollment on January 31, 2016. Open Enrollment for 2016 health coverage at HealthCare. gov began November 1, 2015 and individuals can still enroll in coverage through January 31, 2016. Consumers should visit HealthCare.gov or CuidadodeSalud.gov to review their coverage options, learn about what financial assistance is available, or to sign up or reenroll in a plan that best meets their needs. Having health insurance when you can afford it is now the law. If someone chooses not to buy health insurance and could afford to do so, they are at risk of paying a fee of $695 or more. Five Facts about Open Enrollment in Utah: • Since Open Enrollment began on Nov. 1, 143,391 Utah consumers have selected a plan through December 19. • Plans for 2016 are affordable, 77 percent of Utah enrollees can find plans for $75 or less a month in premiums after tax credits. Nationwide, about 8 out of 10 people who enroll in health coverage through HealthCare.gov qualify for financial help to make their monthly premiums more af-

If a consumer realized after the deadline for coverage starting January 1 that there is a better plan for their family, they can come back and make a change any time before the end of Open Enrollment on January 31, 2016. • When Utah customers visit HealthCare.gov they’ll find a variety of quality health coverage options available. For 2016, Utah consumers can choose from 5 issuers and an average of 70 plans. • Free confidential enrollment help is available if people in Utah have questions or want to talk through their options with a trained professional.

shows of two to eight artists, or larger curated/juried exhibits. Applications open Jan. 1, 2016 and are due Feb. 1, 2016. The Rio & Alice Galleries are a program of the Utah Division of Arts & Museums. "We are proud to offer these galleries as a free venue to Utah artists," said Gay Cookson, Director of Arts & Museums. "In 2015 we exhibited the work of over 215 artists and we look forward to seeing new artists to our venues in this coming year." Both emerging and established artists are encouraged to collaborate on exhibits and engage the community through art making and dialogue. Exhibitions have been a program of the state since 1899. Utah artist Namon Bills stated, “The Rio has a great variety of shows…It's a large, beautiful space that rivals any in the state as an exhibition venue. It can accommodate large-scale shows that other venues simply cannot. Its position as a state-owned entity allows the Rio to be dedicated to artistic expression, without being concerned about sales or profit. This creates an invaluable opportunity to showcase quality artwork that may fall outside the traditional for-profit gallery model. This provides important opportunities for artists and educational opportunities for the viewing public as well.” “I believe that these group exhibits have established me in the community as a serious and persistent artist” said Trent Alvey. “I owe the program a huge debt of gratitude for transitioning me into receiving grants from other agencies and helping me to create a market among individual art collectors, as well as establishing me in other local galleries.” To submit a proposal for exhibition visit https:// utahartsmuseums.submittable. com/submit and download guidelines in the Galleries section.

Tips on Having ALL DAY ENERGY When your eyes start to droop in the late afternoon and you feel drained you scramble through your drawers and cupboards foraging for chocolate to get you through, chances are it was what you ate earlier in the day that zapped your afternoon pep. To avoid these dreaded energy crashes be sure you eat meals and snacks that contain a combination of healthy carbohydrates, protein, and fat. High carb meals or snacks, such as morning pastries, sweets, and soda give you a temporary energy surge because they cause a rapid spike in blood sugar (your body’s main fuel). This spike is followed by a swift drop in blood sugar levels,

and you are left feeling drained and tired. Carbohydrates, protein, and fat work together to slow the rise and regulate the level of blood sugar so you have an all day supply of lasting energy. Skipping meals is equally as bad. When you skip breakfast or lunch, your body and brain are running on empty. You can become cranky, lethargic, and feel foggy. Grabbing proper meal snacks will help you have the energy to get through the day.

Food Combo Ideas for Maintaining Energy Throughout the Day: Whole grain cereal, fat free milk, 2 tsp chopped nuts. Almond butter on a whole wheat English muffin Apple slices and low fat cheddar cheese Hummus and baby carrots PB&J on whole grain bread Lentil soup (low sodium if available) Mixed greens, lots of vegetables Beans and vegetables in a whole wheat wrap (burrito) Whole wheat pasta with garlic, zucchini, basil, white beans and olive oil.

remove invasive species and restore the one-of-a-kind Escalante River watershed. Of the grant, Partners representative Jeff Muse says, “These funds will be used to develop an advanced cadre of volunteers with increased training and commitment for duties in citizen science, education and relationship building among rural communities.” Those who are interested in volunteering may contact Partners at 435-644-1308. —Grand Staircase Escalante Partners

Want to Stop Smoking for New Year’s? Free Assistance Available ST. GEORGE - Most Utahns who smoke cigarettes would like to quit in the near future. With New Year’s Day just around the corner, why not make 2016 the year to quit? The Southwest Utah Public Health Department (SWUPHD) suggests taking advantage of WaytoQuit.org, a free resource that has proven effective for many former tobacco users. For Utah resident Lydia Woltjen, quitting became important when she began seeing her young daughter imitate her smoking habit. “I ‘tried’ all the time,” Woltjen says, “but then I became really committed to quitting for my daughter.” She found the support she needed through WaytoQuit. org. “I logged on and became involved in the discussion to quit. I would read the blogs to stay strong and positive” Tobacco users are more likely to quit for good when they use evidence-based cessation counseling programs and/

or quit medications. “It’s encouraging to know that people quit tobacco every day,” explains Kye Nordfelt, SWUPHD Director of Health Promotion. “Those who succeed most often do so with the help of family and friends, combined with a solid cessation program like Way to Quit.” Woltjen quit four-and-ahalf years ago, and is still doing well. “There are so many positives about quitting smoking that I can't number them,” she says. “I would tell anybody trying to quit that it is the hardest thing that I have done, but the positives outweigh the withdrawals that came with quitting.” To start your quit plan or for more information, visit WaytoQuit.org or call 1-800-QUIT-NOW (7848669). Way to Quit offers free phone counseling, expert online coaching, a support community, interactive lessons and exercises, motivational e-mails,

and other services to help tobacco users quit. Participants age 18 or older may be eligible for free nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) patches or gum. Each participant’s program is customized to meet the individual’s readiness to quit. Services are available 24 hours a day, seven days per week (except on major holidays), and are offered in many different languages including Spanish at 1-855-DÉJELO-YA (3353569). “Don't get discouraged if you don't succeed the first time,” says Nordfelt. “Studies show that most tobacco users take seven or more attempts to successfully quit. We invite you to make an attempt in 2016.” — Southwest Utah Public Health Department

Wayne FFA also visited career tours: CAT Tractor Factory Cooper Williams This tour was by far the best one we attended. It was really cool to see all the dozers and all the sizing that they can build. When CAT first started the company was established for agriculture. The company was established to replace horses to improve efficiencies. CAT also played a a huge part in World War 1. At the end of the war CAT tractors entered the construction world. Today they are a world known company who ships across the world. CAT Engines - Zane Taylor -By attending the CAT tour of the large engine tour it allowed me to see and understand more about the mechanic industry. It brought things into perspective about the abilities and opportunities in this field of study. I liked this tour because it relates to

what I plan to do in my future. I participate in Ag Mechanics in the FFA and take a lot of classes in high school to better myself towards this career. It was a great experience to see the diesel engines being machined. 240 Sweets - Klace Lyman. The educational value in this career tour was the business of making homemade sweets. The production has to be done in a particular order or the product doesn’t turn out correct. This is a great example of an entrepreneurship and creating a profitable business from scratch. John Deere - Dal Nelson John Deere has a long standing history in the agriculture world. Through the advancements in technology the tractor has improved the production scales. This career tour showed how the equipment that help farmers and a glimpse towards the production future. We were able to drive simulators of the new equipment while at this tour. FFA Convention/Career Show - Paden Peterson The convention was a lot of fun. There were vendors from all aspects of agriculture. It was a great opportunity to talk and interact with those who have found success in the agriculture world. This helped me see the opportunities of agriculture outside of sows, cows, and plows.

Estate Planner’s Christmas Song

Growing up, I loved singing Christmas songs while driving in the car with my family. What we lacked in talent, we made up for in volume and enthusiasm. Driving through the streets of Las Vegas, we sang Jingle Bells, Frosty the Snowman, Silent Night, and if the car ride was long enough, The Twelve Days of Christmas. I want to attempt an Estate Planner’s version of the Twelve Days of Christmas. On the First Day of Christmas my Estate Planner gave to me, a Trust. The cornerstone of many estate plans is a trust. Both a will and trust are tools that work to get your assets to your beneficiaries. The key difference is a will must go through a court process called probate. Whereas, a trust, if done properly, with assets funded into the trust (see The Fourth Day below), your heirs can avoid probate. On the Second Day . . . You should get two powers of attorney, one for financial matters and one for health care. These documents are worthless when you die but are very important if you become incapacitated. These documents allow the person

by Jeffery J. McKenna you selected to make decisions without having to commence a necessary court guardianship proceeding. On the Third Day . . . You get three original living wills. The living will tells your medical provider you don’t want to be kept alive by machines. Three originals should be signed. You keep one. Your doctor keeps one. And, your attorney keeps the third one. On the Fourth Day . . . You make sure your four major assets - Home, Investment Accounts, Bank Accounts and Life Insurance are all coordinated with your trust in order to avoid probate. On the Fifth Day . . . You should make sure to review your estate plan every five years. The laws change, personal situations change, and powers of attorney can get “stale” if not updated. The general rule is to review the plan at least every five years.

Unexpected guests were on the way, and my mother, an impeccable housekeeper, rushed around straightening up. She put my father and brother to work cleaning the guest bathroom. Later, when she went to inspect it, she was surprised that the once-cluttered room had been tidied up so quickly. Then she saw the note on the closed shower curtains. It read, "Thank you for not looking in the bathtub."

Realization

A mother walks in on her 6 year-old son and finds him sobbing. "What's the matter?" she asks. "I've just figured out how to tie my shoes." "Well, Honey, that's wonderful." Being a wise mother, she recognized his victory in the struggle of autonomy versus doubt: "You're growing up, but why are you crying?" "Because," he says, "now I'll have to do it every day for the rest of my life."

As they waited for their uncle's return home from a business trip, my four young daughters wanted to give him a welcome-home party. I told them to make signs for him while I prepared a special dinner. When I went back to check on them, my three oldest daughters showed me their wonderful welcome signs. Then five-year-old Marie held hers up. It read 'wet paint'.

TV Help

A customer called our service line demanding help with her TV set, which wouldn't come on. "I'm sorry, but we can't send a technician out today due to the blizzard," I told her. Unsatisfied, she barked, "I need my TV fixed today! What else am I supposed to do while the power is out?!"

Antique Dealer

A crafty old antique dealer is travelling through a rural area when he spots a priceless Chippendale cabinet in a junk shop. He knows he will make tens of thousands of dollars reselling it if he can persuade the shop owner that it's worthless. He offers the man twenty dollars, explaining that the only reason he's interested is that he needs some firewood and the wood should burn well. So the price is agreed and the dealer explains that he'll return the next day with his van to pick up the cabinet. The following morning, the dealer drives up and sees a pile of old wood sitting outside the shop. "What's that?" he says. "It's the cabinet," says the shop owner. "I felt so guilty charging twenty dollars for firewood that I've done you a favor and chopped it up for you."

December 31, 2015

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Santa had a full moon to deliver all of his presents this year, the first time since 1977 that there was a full moon on Christmas. I pray this was a good year for you and your family. I hope that Santa brought plenty of coats to keep you warm. El Nino is really doing its thing, bringing plenty of wet weather to the western part of our Country; even too much in some areas where there was flooding. Last year at this time of the year, Boston had 110” of snow, this year it is 65 degrees there. In New York they are jogging in their shorts in 75 degree weather. The other night when it snowed so much in SLC, it was great, with all of the snow there wasn’t one shooting on the news, the first time in along time. I hope you like it cold because it is going to hang around for a while, with the clear skies on Saturday night it was 12 below zero. Tonight is New Years Eve and I hope you went down to the Triple C Arena to celebrate the New Year with family and friends. Last year was a really great year for most of the Country. We have so much to be thankful for living in the USA. When I see pictures of those in Syria fleeing their home carrying what they have on their backs, it saddens me knowing there is nothing I can do for them. Our economy is growing by leaps and bounds, on an average last year 270,000 new jobs were created each month. It was only 7 years ago that the country was losing 850,000 jobs each month and we were

at almost 12% unemployment. In the last 7 years, over 3 million illegal aliens have been deported, twice as many as had been deported in the 16 years prior. Many of the ranchers here had a banner year, with much of Texas getting out of the beef business, beef prices were at an all time high. Many of our Motels had record years. We got three new restaurants: Kenny Rays, an East Indian food restaurant and Carla’s. We are losing Lin Care our oxygen provider; their service will run out of Cedar City. All of the workers there will be transferred to either Kanab or Cedar City. Arby’s will be moving to the east Silver Eagle, after a 20 year stay at Leland Chevron. Ruby’s Inn, who employs many of our locals (they have 750 employees in the busy time in the summer) also had a bumper year. Ruby’s always is growing each year and they have become a destination area. All they need is a golf course and no one will leave there. The big news for the year was the drop in gas prices from the highs of $4.00 a gallon to below $2.00. These low prices are a double edge sword; gas is tied into the COL and kept the Social Security from being raised this year. PHS (our winter entertainment) again had a record year. The boys came in 5th in State basketball and the Lady Cats rolled to their second undefeated season in basketball to win their second State Championship. Both the Bob Cats and the Ladies ran away with the track Championships

taking first place by wide margins. In the fall the Bob Cats were in the finals in baseball losing to the Wayne Badgers, a team they had beaten twice in the season. In cross country all of the Cats ran their personal best and took home the Championship trophy. The Girls' team had many injuries, but again put out all they could and came up just 2 points short, to the Parowan Rams. This ended their 4th straight championship stretch. The Ladies came back with many of the cross country runner in the line up, to capture the Volleyball Championship and they were in a class by themselves at state. The Boys came home with two first place finishes (in track and cross country). The Girls end up with three Championships (basketball, track and volleyball). It looks like that in these two years the Lady Cats will win 7 out of the 8 championships. Most schools would be thrilled to win one. In World news (since we don’t get any papers here in

town) The Iraqi’s have retaken the City of Ramadi from ISIS, thus depriving the Islamic State militants of their biggest prize of 2015. Their next target is the city of Mosul by far the largest population center controlled by ISIS. Taking back Mosul will cut off much of ISIS sources of income from oil and taxes they were getting from citizens of Mosul. We did not lose one of our own in this battle; even through we used air support, to aid the Iraqi troops. I love this Country, but I do hate Presidential elections. No matter how good things are going, those that don’t have a clue on what is happening have their ideas how to bring down our mighty Country. Maybe running for President ought to have a clause that says they should serve in the Service and maybe they wouldn’t be so quick to send our best into the line of fire. I hope next year will be bringing you good health and joy. Mack

Rod and Kathern Syrett went to St. George to see grandsons, Cajun Syrett and Ashtyn Stevens, participate in a musical at Dixie University. Cajun performed in the musical, "Ragin' Red" as one of the cast singing and dancing. Ashtyn came out of the audience to perform a dance routine for the audience. This is Cajun's second time participating in this event and he enjoys it. Cajun is the son of Bryce and Cherish Syrett and Ashtyn is the son of Mike and Kami Stevens. Grandparents from Bryce Canyon City are Rod and Kathern Syrett. Mike and Margaret Tebbs of Panguitch are Cajun's grandparents and the Stevens of Holden Utah are the grandparents of Ashtyn. The Primary Presidency of the Tropic Ward has been reorganized. Released as the President was Lisa Ahlstrom with counselors LaNae Cloud and Amy Fagergren and secretary Kim Stewart. Called

Congratulations to all involved. Yesterday we ran into Marion and Catherine Littlefield along with Sharlene and Britnee Littlefield who had just come from seeing the new Jurassic World movie. Said it was worth the effort to go see it and would go again if they got the chance. This has been a general comment from many who have seen the picture. Saying it was more like the first three than the new ones that were released. There were so many visitors in Bryce Area this past week and there is no way to get you all the names. Church was very crowded and the traffic from here to Cedar and back was very heavy. We are glad to hear that Damon Brinkerhoff is doing well after his surgery and we wish him a wonderful recovery. It was also good to see Marie Niemann walking around looking healthy and happy. Wynona Henderson has been traveling again. She first went to Ephraim to attend the Baby Blessing of Greatgrandson, Timer Korver Davis. He is the new adorable little son of Shane and Candace Davis. She later went to St. George to attend the third birthday of grandson Drayden Henderson who was born on 12-12-12 and he is the son of Mitch and Pam Henderson.

Wynona stayed with them for three days and was also able to visit with Jeremy and Jobeth Davis in Hurricane Utah. Jeremy is a grandson also. Wynona would like it known that grandson Henry Eagar was also a participant in the Piano Recital that was held on the 13th of December. Somehow his name got left off the list and he works hard at practicing his piano so we want to let him know we gladly put his name in the paper as one of the students of Sandy Johnson who was in the recital. Sorry we missed you Henry. Wynona was able to visit with a first cousin, Annette Nordren and her sister Marie Whipple. The ladies are former Middleton's who grew up in Henrieville. It has been years since they were able to

see each other so they had a nice visit.. Wynona also visited with Marilyn Murdock of Bloomington Hills. She is the daughter of the late Wallace and Mary Ott. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas Day and celebration. It came fast and went fast but it was nice to actually have snow on the ground for Christmas. Hope everyone stayed safe and if you had to travel hope all went well. We spent the day after Christmas helping our son Mike celebrate his birthday. We also got to spend time with our grandson Jordan Jensen and wife Shalynn and children Kyden and Tennley. It was fun seeing them and having time to visit. Please call or email your news to me.

New Year’s Resolutions 2016 by Adus F. Dorsey II each year that they would return borrowed objects and pay off their debts. Then during the medieval era, the knights took the "peacock vow" at the end of the Christmas season each year to re-affirm their commitment to chivalry. New Year's resolutions have become a secular tradition, and most Americans who make them now focus on self-improvement of the most popular resolutions: losing weight, volunteering more, stopping smoking, eating better, getting out of debt and saving money. A 2007 study by Richard Wiseman from the University of Bristol involving 3,000 people showed that 88% of those who set New Year resolutions failed, despite the fact that 52% of the study's participants were confident of success at the beginning. But all is not lost, the study also showed that men could achieve their goal 22% more often when they engaged in goal setting, while women succeeded 10% more when they made their goals public and got support from their friends. It really isn’t all that surprising that people today scoff at the Babylonians promises to their gods at the start of each year that they would re-

Well, the 1980’s artificial Christmas tree has been stuffed back in its crumbling cardboard box for another year, and hopefully everybody got what they wished for, or at the minimum, what they deserved for Christmas. Now we get to make our New Year resolutions. If you are planning to exercise more or eat fewer sweets in the New Year, you're taking part in a tradition that stretches back thousands of years. New Year’s Day celebrations began in pre-Christian times, beginning with the Babylonians in March but were changed to January by the Romans. January gets its name from Janus, the twofaced god who looks backwards into the old year and forwards into the new. Janus became the ancient symbol for resolutions and many Romans looked for forgiveness from their enemies and also exchanged gifts before the beginning of each year. Early Christians believed the first day of the New Year should be spent reflecting on past mistakes and resolving to improve oneself in the New Year. The custom of setting “New Year’s resolutions” began during this period in Rome two millennia ago, as they made such resolutions with a moral flavor: mostly to be good to others. But when the Roman Empire took Christianity as its official state religion in the 4th century, these moral intentions were replaced by prayers and fasting. According to our good friend Mrs. Wiki Pedia, the Babylonians made promises to their gods at the start of

turn borrowed objects and pay off their debts. I mean if you think about it just about everyone with a plastic credit card has just maxed them out to buy Christmas gifts and paying them off is the last thing on their minds, at least until they have had a few stiff drinks at a New Years eve party. Like just about every good intention there ever was, if someone thinks they can make money off of it a thousand are going to try, just ask Jillian Michaels. In February we can expect to see an abundance of exercise bikes, nicotine patches, and cartons of slim fast for sale at the Dollar Store and on the WC Barter Club page. Replaced with ISO post for tenpound boxes of Valentine day chocolates, super size stretch pants and house cleaning services. By March the little yellow slips of paper with hand scribbled 2016 New Year’s resolutions written on them, once magnetically stuck to the fridge in late December, along side a four year olds hand print, will have long ago fell to the floor and been swept up with a broom never to be thought of again. Happy New Year!

Create a Financial Calendar for the New Year by Nathaniel Sillin

When was the last time you made a financial resolution on New Year's Eve? If you can't remember, you're in good company. The Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America's annual New Year's resolutions survey (https:// www.allianzlife.com/about/ news-and-events for 2014 reported that 49 percent of respondents said that health and wellness were their first priorities for the coming year, up from 43 percent in 2013. Only 30 percent ranked financial stability as their top goal for the year. In 2016, maybe it's time to push financial fitness to the top of your list by creating an annual financial calendar that helps you save, spend and invest a little smarter. Here are some suggestions to build your calendar: Set three important money goals for the year. Three money goals may not sound like a lot, but if you've never thought about money goals before, establishing these targets can make a major difference in your financial life. Set goals that address key money concerns or serve as a springboard for a solid financial future. Choose what makes sense for you, but here are three basic goals to start with: • Create or reset your budget. If you've never made a budget before, spend a month or two tracking everything you spend. Review your findings closely and see whether you're spending less than you earn. If not, determine if you can cut spending to direct more funds to meet key goals. If you already have a budget,

consider reevaluating your finances to see where you could cut costs. • Build an emergency fund. An emergency fund (http:// www.practicalmoneyskills. com/emergencyfund) contains between three to six months of living expenses you can draw upon only in a real financial emergency such as unemployment, illness or a major unplanned expense. • Save for something special. Make one of your three goals a fun goal – a vacation, a new bike, a wardrobe upgrade – something that feels like a reward. Here are calendar items that might help you reach those goals. Make sure you note staggered receipt dates for each of your three free credit reports (https://www.annualcreditreport.com) from Experian, TransUnion and Equifax so you can keep a steady eye on your credit and spot irregularities if they happen. Prevent severe money surprises by marking key repair or replacement dates on home, appliance and other personal expenses that might be coming up in the future. Use the time you have now to schedule inspections and estimates for each so you'll be able to start setting aside funds in advance. Retirement readiness is another key calendar item. At least once a year, consider reviewing your holdings in retirement or investment accounts to make sure they're still performing as you've planned or if not, whether you need to restructure the investments in your portfolio.

Put the open enrollment dates for employer- or selfemployment benefits on your calendar and then mark a date several weeks before to allow you to start thinking through necessary changes. The way you choose employer or selfemployment benefits is a key part of your financial planning and should intersect with other independent money decisions you're making for yourself and your family. Insurance renewal dates are important to mark as well. If you're not comparison-shopping for the auto, homeowners or health insurance coverage you buy on your own, there's a good possibility you're losing out on money, service or coverage. Set two dates each year to review your overall finances. You might consider dates in June and November to see how you're doing with budget, savings, spending, investment and tax issues. The June date is for corrective actions; the November date is to determine the last-minute spending, savings or tax moves you want to make before December 31 and to set financial goals for the New Year. If you work with a qualified financial or tax expert, consider involving him or her in the conversation. Bottom line: If you use a calendar or datebook to keep on schedule, add important money dates and activities so you can meet your lifetime financial goals.

New Signage Cont'd from page 1

The new look, which was created by the BLM’s design center in Denver, includes signs which are black, with colored stripes, with the new NCL logo. “Within a basic framework, each NCL unit gets their own look. Our graphic ‘brand’ is basically a compilation of images of the Escalante canyons and the Grand Staircase,” said Angus. Angus added that according to BLM Visitor Center staff, visitors to the area are already asking about the signs and what the National Conservation Lands are. “So the signs are doing exactly what they are supposed to do,” she said. The first phase of the sign roll out, which started midyear, was the larger portal signs. The second phase are trailhead signs. Following that will the interpretive signs and then smaller scale directional signs. You can run a quick

New trailhead markers and informational signs, such as those shown for the Boulder Mail Trail, above, are among the suite of new markers planned by BLM. sweep wih the icons, even for international visits. “We will be installing through the winter and spring and then smallest stuff over next summer and fall,” said Angus. “When it’s all done, we should have a suite of things out on the landscape that all match.” Angus says that aspects of the pilot project include the efficacy of the signs and symbols in terms of what they convey to the visitor, as well as the longevity of the materi-

als. Each sign all metal, is now completely reflective (and not just the words), as well as UV protected. Icons are designed to be especially friendly for international non-English speaking visitors. “A lot of thought has gone into them but none of us knows ye, how well they will perform. So one of my jobs is to document the timing of their placement as well as how well they hold up,” said Angus. —Insider
